Pros: awesome sound quality, EAX support, CHEAP Cons: not as much memory as the standard Live card.
For the money, you cannot find a better sound card. The sound quality is clean and crisp. Even when hooked up to a home stereo, the quality
sounds nearly 2x as good as other sound cards. Creative has long been
known for their use in games,...

Pros: Saves you $$$, environmental audio. Nice sound. Cons: Not great for huge parties, or playing games at max sound level.
I used the Soundblaster PCI128, and was very unhappy with it. Therefore, I decided the Live!Value was a good choice for me, as it was inexpensive and had good reviews. Installing the card was a snap, and I was up and running with one of the greatest...

Pros: Works properly, cheap like borscht Cons: too many holes!

Pros: Excellent fidelity Cons: None
We've all heard crappy soundcards that hisses and crackles and pops, annoyingly. My old soundcard was one of those combo cards with modem on it too, and I actually put up with it for over a year, depending on my mini-hifi set for my listening pleasure....

Pros: EAX audio, Artificial surround sound with 4-speaker support, retroactive enhancements Cons: So many plugs it can be a little confusing
It's affordable, unbeatable, and undeniably innovative. It must be Sound Blaster Live! Value.
I purchased this card when I upgraded my computer. Being in a kit, I only had to pay about $45 for it, which is as much as any decent card will...

The Soundblaster Live Value is a great sounding, inexpensive sound card.
Gaming.
It works wonderfully for gaming, providing more channels than most games have sound effects. The software that comes with it even has preset...

Pros: Easy Setup, Great Sound, Affordable. Cons: Base Card in Live Series, Extra features sold separately
When I upgraded to a new motherboard, I had to retire my SB AWE64 Value ISA card. So it was time to venture out and find a brand spanking new PCI sound card that was going to be both inexpensive, but have some pretty decent quality.
I really...

Pros: price, best sound card out there Cons: need good speakers
I purchased the Soundblaster Live! Value sound card for about $45. Right now, it is the best audio card out there and its driver support is also excellent. One of the bigger problems with audio cards is that everyone seems to be going out of business....

Pros: great sound Cons: great price
I am enjoying this card! It didn't cost an arm and a leg, but I can listen to my CD's while I'm doing my monthly bills and not be able to tell the difference between the computer and my daughter's portable player. The sound is full, with good quality....

Pros: Cheap. Fantastic sound. Cons: Um... there are cons?
Well, the actual Sound Blaster Live! Value was made in 1998, but it still kicks even the newest sound card's butt. The sound is crystal clear, even on my old speakers from 1995, from my old compaq. Nice piece of hardware. The multi-channel audio is...

Pros: Great sound a lot of options Cons: drivers and software a little hard to load
I was looking for an inexpensive sound card that was a good performer. I asked a few friends and did a little research on the web and found that for the price it was a good value. I recommend this card to everyone. I built my mom a computer last month...

Pros: Great card, great price, great tricks Cons: Conflicts with some motherboards
Another great piece of hardware by creative labs. One of the nicest features ive seen on this or any sound card is the ability to manipulate direct line in and microphone channels. By hooking up your mic and playing with the Environmental audio you can...

Pros: Great sound. Cons: Didn't work.
I just bought a new PC (Dell Dimension 8100 - review coming soon), and I had the choice of 2 different sound cards when I was on the phone with the salesman. The other sound card (I don't remember what brand or model) had Dolby, THX, and all sorts of...
